Fashionistas Layout Challenge

I mentioned before I LOVE Challenges!!!!! Here is my Layout for Wilna Furstenberg's, this is her first Fashionista Layout Challenge. Wilna loves simple things. So this Challenge is called The 6 Thing Challenge.

The 6 Thing Challenge, the items you will need to use are: Brads, Paint, Cardboard, Ribbon, Chipboard Letters, and 1 Printed Paper.

So here is my LO for this challenge. The picture is of Paula, Cat, and myself at the Scrapbook and Altered Art Retreat last weekend. We were working on our Art Muses (dolls).

Hope you enjoy my take for this challenge.

Scrapbook and Altered Art Retreat

What an AWESOME weekend I had. I spent the weekend with Paula from Paula's Palace of AltAred Art, http://pclouse.blogspot.com/ and Cat from Cupcakes and Coffee, http://www.cupcakesandcoffee.blogspot.com/. You talking about 2 crazy ladies.

Wow

We had a great time, what a great surprise to me when I walked into the Retreat and there Cat was, it was such an honor to meet her this weekend and get to know her. Paula and I are long time friends, she is like the BIG sister I never had, so I always LOVE the time we get to spend together. I want to thank Paula and Carla, our Creative Memories Consultant for the great time, that 11 Scrapbook Sisters spent together at the BEAUTIFUL Lodge at Lake Sallateeska, North of Nashville, IL.

As Paula would say, "We waxed creatively all weekend!" We made Art Muses (Dolls), Happy House Pins, Cards for special friends, 5 sided Easter Eggs (Made like a 5-sided journal box), and of course many scrapbook layouts. I will post pictures as soon as I get pictures of all the wonderful things we made.

Welcome to my site

Well I am new at this, I hope in time that this will be a really cool place that you will want to visit. I love doing crafts; altered art, scrapbooks, and sewing. I also love to cook and bake. I bake and decorate cakes and cookies also. So from time to time you will see pictures of the latest cake I am working on. In the summers I love to garden, go camping, hikes, and bike rides. I love taking digital pictures, I am just learning how to do digital creations on the computer, so BEWARE. =) I am excited about sharing my creations with you. I love surfing the Internet to find new projects to work on.
A very close and dear friend/sister of mine said that I was crafty and I needed to start a blog to share my crafts with everyone. So here I am, I hope you enjoy visiting my site as I am excited about sharing them with you.

I recently discovered INCHIES on the Internet (my sweet sister was talking about them also). I love doing them, they are very simple and something that I can do while watching television with my husband, Chuck and son, Caleb.

I also get ideas from Art magazines. I love this day of technology, so many places to look and surf for ideas. One of my favorite magazine's is Somerset Studio. In the Volume 1 Issue 1 2007, I found these darling little House Pins, by Artist Victoria Gertenback, that I just had to make. I love them, I know it will be something I will be making from time to time.

Well I guess I have bent your ears/eyes long enough for the first post. I will be back again soon to share more I am sure.
